In these uncertain and frightening times, it’s so comforting to be reminded that there is still good in this World.

Most of us who exercise outside now, are probably all too familiar with our route. I’m incredibly lucky to live in the beautiful village of Lavenham in Suffolk.

As we start another week in lockdown, some of you will be craving some personal space right now. Others may be desperate for the opposite, these are of course, unusual times and our psyche is being tested!

In places like Tibet and Bhutan, I can’t help admiring the simplicity of their lifestyles. How their faith keeps them strong, and their outlook on life allows them to find peace, happiness and acceptance.

It’s sometimes incredibly hard to become motivated when we feel so far away from the life that you want or feel you should have. We glance at others who seem to be having an amazing life, and it can feel so far from reality for us. 

There isn’t a person on this planet who hasn’t had a bad day. Some have bad weeks and some fight every day to wade through depression, anxiety and emotional pain.

Have you stuck to your New Year’s resolutions, did you complete dry January or Veganuary? 
Whether it’s something you want to give up such as smoking, drinking or sugar. Or you are looking for motivation to study, exercise or move on to a happy place in your life, it always starts with a thought.
